The rate at which enemies spawn in the first area is so suffocating I can't bring myself to continue. It feels like every 5 steps there's a surprise encounter with 3 enemies, and no healing at all.
There was originally a lot more content planned including an ending for the Mine and Banished overall, but my focus had to be diverted to other stuff. I may return to it next update, but for certain expect an overall clean-up of the area.
The blue wolf is a Contributor character, one of the submissions taken from members over on my Patreon. He seems weirdly cognizant for a number of reasons, most of which will be explained when I am able to continue his storyline.
Interactions and bespoke dialogue for Good Wolf is something that's been heavily suggested and is for sure going to be added. Current blockers are in place solely because I didn't have the time to go over and redo every single line of dialogue the player character has to make it line up.
Wolf self-sabotage will be expanded on the current quests and side content (one idea that I wasn't able to implement was potentially 'hesitating' when triggering the Refugee scene) and will have a big culmination with you having a spiritual fight very similarly to the Holy district quest, albeit with more nuance.
A 'version' of the cure that only heals the mind is something that's already implemented in the form of the Experimental Cure, but not something I'm super keen on exploring massively. There will be a lot of unique curable wolves you will be able to unlock by progressing the Wolf questline first (Revan, Titanus, Nathaniel), but it will be very restricted to keep playthroughs feeling unique and the game replayable.
A wolf's mentality is influenced mostly by their prior mindstate, twisting their goals and desires into something almost entirely alien to who they were. More weak-minded individuals become more baser in their feral desires, becoming more uniform with their new pack, while unique and powerful individuals typically stand out much more in their new form.
Their fur pattern and gender are essentially random, with the distribution being a skewed 80/20 split female/male. Nobody really knows why there's more females, but the males aren't complaining one bit.
Most everything available to one form will eventually be touched on through the other, just through a different lense. Same reason why the Refugees have 2 'hidden' scenes
I'll add some nice after ending sequences so you can explore and interact with the new future for the city you've created.
v1.2 is still only around half way done. 2 more experimental builds are planned to release privately, with one coming relatively soon, and once it is feature-complete it will be released in a 2 week private period before going fully public.
both are attained after leaving the path and heading right. If you only receive endings with no options, you are likely still playing the 1.0 version which is very outdated visually and mechanically as well as lacking well over half of the content in 1.1
I'll see what I can do! Changing some of the backend stuff has been on my to-do list for a while, and this seems like something easy and fun to implement.
there will be unique interactions and dialogue depending on what you do on either side, and you're free to switch as much as you want. During the last stretch of the story, you will be forced into a permanent option just to keep the endings consistent.
